"Our staff put a lot of effort into sending those reports but from now on there's no point. There's no acknowledgement of what we're saying, it's just ignored. We get a reply but the reply is always in agreement with what's happened. It's not good enough. We're not going to waste our time on it, we're going to focus on what we're doing for Cardiff city and try to give our supporters and players the protection they need."
"The refereeing performances this season are getting gradually worse. It's been really poor,"
"We're the only Welsh team in this league and at some stage our players need to be protected [but] they're not being protected."
"Isaak Davies received a sickening blow to the head off the ball and it wasn't seen."
Cardiff beat Rotherham 3-0 away despite being reduced to ten men after Ryan Wintle was shown a red card on 21 minutes. Refereeing performances in League One are described as getting gradually worse, with criticism aimed at match referee Seb Stockbridge and the overall standard across the division. Specific concerns included Wintle's dismissal and an off-the-ball, sickening blow to Isaak Davies that went unseen. The club raised complaints to PGMOL that were characterized as perfunctory 'vanilla' replies mirroring match decisions and lacking acknowledgement. Cardiff extended its unbeaten run to ten games and remained two points clear at the top.
